Tottenham put on alert over FC Porto’s Christian Atsu

SPURS are ready to launch a bid for Porto’s contract rebel Christian Atsu.

The winger has rejected the chance to extend his contract at the Portuguese club and a move to White Hart Lane could be on the horizon.

Atsu has worked under current Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas before at Porto so may want to work with him again.

He has 18 months remaining on his contract and though his release clause may be in the region of £24m, Spurs will be desperate to capture his signature as they missed out on his team-mate Joao Moutinho in the summer transfer window.
